I have to have people around who are of a certain strain of humour. I can't deal with people who have no humour.
Mean comedy is not really something that I personally gravitate towards or something that I do.
For some reason, people value being scared less than they value laughing.
I like that kind of 'straight-faced' comedy. I like to be straight-faced and outrageous.
I gravitate to ensemble comedy.
I think being funny is not anyone's first choice.
I've never really loved mean comedy.
I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.
British humour is very cruel. It's my favourite kind of humour; if it isn't cruel and funny it doesn't really cut the cake for me.
I'm not temperamentally into high comedy. I'm not a Noel Coward kind of girl.
I just am a snob when it comes to humor.
I have a really dry sense of humor. I don't think it's funny when people wink at the camera. That's more of an actor thing, just committing to whatever the thing is.
Mike Myers as Austin Powers makes me laugh - that was genius - and Daffy Duck makes me laugh, but I like odd behavior. I don't like hip dialogue and one-liners and all that sort of cool, sophomoric comedy. It's just not for me.
I'm not the type of person who thinks up a joke and has to tell everyone.
I've always been criticised for how filthy my material is. Victoria Wood said to me once, 'I wish I was a bit ruder, like you,' and I said, 'Well, I wish I was a bit cleaner, like you.'
I like very straight comedy.
I don't really like comedy.
I've never been a dirty comic.
People like light and silly, and they like stuff that's really energetic, and you get a character in a film bouncing around and screaming, people laugh. That's all it takes. I don't find that funny. To me, what's funny is dialogue and nuance of character and performance.
When I was a kid, I was the one causing the problems, and my little sister was the intermediary. But I think in life, generally, I don't want drama. I'd so much rather do something goofy.
The only thing that I don't like is my kids watching comedy that isn't actually funny. There's a lot of supposed tween comedy on TV that isn't particularly funny, but it's got a lot of laugh track. And I go, 'Please don't watch that. Please just watch something that's actually funny.'
I like humor: the sort of gentle humor that points out human foibles.
I really like just super dry comedy.
I had just done a movie called 'How to Beat the High Cost of Living,' and it didn't get a good review. And the same people sent me the script for 'Airplane!' for the Robert Hays part. I read it, and there were a lot of plays on words, and I said, 'I don't like this kind of comedy.'
I like things that are sort of comic and humorous rather than satirical.
